Hello everyone and welcome to the Adam Friedland show, the podcast, Adam Friedland show podcast. We are back once again with my boy Nicholas. What's up? You have a headache? Yeah, it keeps coming and going. Really? I don't know.

Tens of waves. Waves? Yeah. I think you're probably just drinking too much coffee. Yeah. Initially, it's not think you probably just drink it too much coffee. Yeah, initially it's not enough coffee and then it's too much coffee. Yeah, that's how it goes. We're feeling good, a lot of,

a lot of, we're feeling good. A lot of Google alerts for you, huh? I don't know, I'm actually not, I mean, I don't know. It's just like I don't seek out fucking shade on the internet, but like, I guess now Cameron is coming for my ass. Yeah. Yeah.

That's how you gonna play it? Well, I wanna play it by inviting him to the show. Oh, okay. But, you know, he called me a homosexual. Did he though? I saw his comment and he said, I went too far. That's not calling you a homosexual.

He did face Paul. That's saying you went too far. Well, a lot of the comments were pretty disparaging. Yeah. Ebro from hot 97. Said I was Paul's. from hot 97 said I was pause. Yeah a lot a lot of people were just like we're pretty disturbed by be saying that Scott Swartz was smoking a big dick. Right well thanks everyone who came out this weekend in Austin I will be in

Detroit Michigan this weekend please come'm at Mark Ridley's comedy castle. Believe it or not. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, it's the same guy. I was, I thought it was Bowser's personally. Because Bowser's comedy castle, like from Super Mario. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

Anyway, and then also the following weekend, you are in a... Stuff called a turtle has a castle. Anyway, and then also the following weekend, you are in a... Stuff called a turtle. Has a castle. No, two weekends. Two weekends after that, Nixon, Chicago, and then a special taping. Yeah, April 17th to 20th at the Comedy Works Denver.

Hopefully we can sell that one out. I think you're gonna sell out your special taping. Yeah, that'll be fun. Have you been doing any altitude training? No. I feel like I'm doing it right now with this fucking headache. Well, we're at sea level right now, but you're gonna be shooting your special.

Well, what it is is this fucking these, a mile high, the air quality is, it's like, it's shit again outside. And now it doesn't smell like a fucking campfire anymore. Is it the Canada fires? It's the Canada fires. Well, they just can't stop these craps? I don't know.

Yeah. What is it? This fucking trudo. It's like how hard it's going to be to put out a fucking forest fire. Pretty easy if you got the thing. It has to be. They got the helicopters with water. That seems like, when I see those water helicopters,

they just dump them. It's like, that's not doing it. There's no way that's doing it. That seems pretty pathetic. It's, yeah. It seems like that's not like that. It's like, yeah, we don't, there's really, yeah, nothing we can do about this at all.

It's like, it's almost as if, like, there was a tornado and they just set up like a big box fan in the opposite direction Like let's just blow the tornado towards yeah, yeah, yeah, I think like a giant cork for volcano Like a champagne bottle. Yeah, yeah, like a bottle of water. Yeah, you open it and you make it rain on them hose. I'm sorry about the headaches. Yeah, that's all right. Well, you think I shouldn't have played it like that with camera and I thought that's what recording costs. I was just asking.

No, I mean, it was a fucking, it was one of those awesome things that's ever happened in the world for him to call me gay on the internet. Yeah, that's got to be an awesome job though, being the helicopter firefighter. Yeah, yeah. I mean it must be like very similar. Fire fighter plus helicopter guy. Yeah, they all have to, they have to be trans. Well there's that one, the Ben Shapiro guy.

Yeah, I feel like there's, maybe I've just read stories about that one Trans helicopter pilot multiple times, but in my My perception is that about 70% of trans people are helicopter pilots. I think I don't think that's inaccurate Yeah, but I that's a that's a guess. I have in check this. Which makes it funny that conservatives do that. I identify as an Apache helicopter thing. Do they do that? Yeah, isn't that their joke? Oh, you can be whatever you want.

Fine, I identify as an Apache helicopter. Oh, I thought they'd do it. I identify as an Apache helicopter. Let's get a trans person inside of you immediately. Yeah. That's what you follow through with the bit then. That's kind of a little bit of a self-own on their part. Yeah.

Yeah, because you don't actually identify. If you did, we'd embrace you, but we need to have a trans person climb into your ass and pilot you. Yes, exactly. I thought their big joke was that I identify my pronouns are fuck you or something. Isn't that what they said? Yeah, that and the, you know what died out is, they all had the, uh, that shit from 300. This is for that. It's, no, no, no, it's, it's a Greek expression that means I get her done.

You know, I've never heard that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what were we saying before that? Oh yeah, that trans helicopter pilot has to be the most famous helicopter pilot ever because she was also the pilot during the Bronco chase, during OJ. Oh really? Yeah, she's like, she's just like...

There's really only two I can name is her and already piling the sky. Who's that? It's a helicopter news guy from the Simpson. Oh, okay. Yeah. She's kind of like a forest gump. She shows up at different at Ben Shapiro debates, at OJ Simpson, and Bronco Chases.

That's pretty cool. Yeah. So, the other big thing in the news, the Secret Services concluded their investigation of the cocaine found in the White House. And what was the conclusion? With no suspects identified. Yeah. Yeah.

Did you see the video of Hunter on the balcony? Where he's like, he's barely doing anything. Yeah, I think if you put it in the context of, oh, he's on blow, then it looks like he's on blow, but he's probably doing nothing. His hair is very wet, but it's been a very hot summer. Yeah. I think the dream guest for the show.

The funniest thing was that Jake Sullivan just tried to casually blame it on the people renovating the situation room, which has got to be like, there's have to be like army engineers, right? It's not like they have to. They have to. They have to. The best of the best of the biz. Well, it's probably, I mean, maybe I'm completely wrong, but I can't imagine it's like, they went to Home Depot and got like five Guatemalan guys

And they're like hey rebuild the situation. No, they got Norm Abram. They got the the whole squad from this old house. Yeah, it's the property brothers. They have the property brothers. Yeah Yeah, they got they got the best the best in the biz. Yeah, I used to watch that show with my dad every Saturday morning. That was our go-to, this old house. Well, we brought it. No, this old house on PBS. You loved it. I just saw the property brothers in something. What was that?

The new mission impossible, perhaps? No, I think an advertisement for Carpool Karaoke. Are they still doing that? Carpool Karaoke? Yeah, they spun it off. It started off as just a thing on... Who hosted again? Fallon? No, the pig man. Oh, I thought he was gone.

Yeah, it's... Did he send him back to the farm? No, I mean, I really nause was gone. Yeah, it's when he sent him back to the farm. I mean, I really nauseous also, but the... What's James Corden? I think they started Carpool Karaoke as a... Fuck. Segment on his show. And then... And then I might have to go throw on.

It's cool shirt you got. Yeah, no, I mean, I literally might have to. Well, it's just pause. What's wrong with you? I'm fine, give me a second. Just talk about something for a second. I know, I got headaches and then, I think maybe it's like a migraine or something

and the lights are making it worse. Taking that, we have a Advil II, and the kind that makes you go to sleep? No, it's a, it's, it's, I B Profin and Asimit, Asimit and Medifin. All right, yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, Advil II, the Duce. Yeah, this episode of Sponsored by,

ooh, look at that. I tell you, this is the first time in a while I've done. You've been up for Adam Ginsburg. Thank you. I'll just take this. I'll take the dual. Take that. Take two of those.

Yeah, the first time I've done two full weekends in a row back to back. Having those Thursday shows in here is, uh, yeah, you're here and you're at home for five minutes. Yeah, right. It really sucks. Yes, it was nice, like, being at home. Like I was like, I got kind of manic in the middle of the day because I was like, oh, Drake's

in town for the week. I was like, we're going to do it. We've had one rapper. We're going to have Drake now. And then I hit up, I hit up Shane. I was like, how, how, how can we get him? And he's like, he's like, you realize I have a podcast here. I'm not gonna get it for your podcast.

Yeah, yeah. But we don't have a podcast, we have a talk show. Yeah, we have a talk show. Yeah. But yeah, I was saying it most, it would be really funny. If Drake was just in town all week doing podcasts, like he did Legion of Skates. Yeah. Yeah.

Like that's how he spent his week in New York doing the New York comedy podcast. Doing boeing in. I'm in the basement with Drake. Oh my God, Drake, do you like Go Sposters? What do you think about ghostbusters? Oh my God, he's so funny man. They're doing well. Him and Jordan.

Yeah, they're doing really well, it seems. Yeah, people love that show. People love that show. We love them too. They're friends. Yeah, to some extent we're're giving birth to the being. Are you gonna take credit? That's disrespectful.

No, they came on ours and they, you know. They're doing their own thing. They've been doing comedy longer than you have. They're better comedians in you. I didn't say that. I know I'm saying it. I didn't say that they were, I was better than them. I said that Ian was our just our pal,

when I come down, he became a fan favorite. But he was always like a, you know, a more established, okay. Ian was the most fan. I'm not saying that I'm responsible. I'm saying that we had a podcast and these were fan favorites on our podcast and now they have their own podcast.

It seems like you're, you know, there's a- I'm not taking credit. Sort of a petrition element to your comment. No, I'm not taking credit for anything. If anything, I was on your podcast. Yeah. So you are the architect. The architect.

Ergo. Nothing I've done has been deliberate. You know, that's learned that by trying to handle all these attacks and accounting issues over the last. I know, that's why you have a headache, did you look at all these things? Yeah, truly, honestly, looking at spreadsheets does give me a headache.

Spreadsheets. And then wires really fucking, I cleaned up, the cat would go behind the TV and piss all over the wires. And like this entertainment hutch, and then like most people, it's just you plug something in and you just fucking jam, you know, the wires back in there. But it took like a month of just, you know, piecemeal when I can't, but I got like a thinner gauge, either net cable for everything, measured how much space I needed, and then I put like, routed channels and stuff,

zip time, cleaning it all up, so it's all looks nice and neat. I put a jack on the wall to send data to the back of the house and the access point, so it's everything's nice and clean, but even just 20 seconds of getting, like, just holding the wires. And it just starts fucking pounding.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that must be how that guy feels, that those bomb squad guys feel. You should be on the bomb squad. I haven't bombed it a long time. Yeah. What was your last bomb? Not like where you're like that was a bad set, but you did fine. Like you mean getting zero?

Yeah. Certainly not. Like it has mean getting zero? Yeah. Certainly not. Like, it has to be years. Headlining. I mean, definitely over the last year, like, especially a lot of the, interestingly enough, I don't think I've like outright fucking, like, I don't think I've had like a bad bad set while sober. Like a lot of the, when I felt the wagon last year and being on the road every weekend,

it's like some of those shows I would just, I mean, I'd be pretty fucking drunk and just do whatever. And if I had been sober, I would have been like, that was fucking terrible when you're drunk. You don't fucking care. Yeah. But, yeah, I'm probably, I mean, I bombed a lot at the stand when I was getting ready

to do this last the run tour and I probably do that again. I'm going to tape this thing and give it the Steven and see what he can do with it and it looks good, put it out and then if that gets any traction then I'll have to. Right, no, I don't know. Yeah, just tape, which I can't do on the road.

I have to just, I need to go like bomb at the standard. Remember how to do stand up for like people who aren't just podcast fans. Yeah, you know, yeah. And that'll be rough, but that's really the only way to do it. Yeah. It's unfortunate.

I feel like you only get like, I just get worse. It stand up by doing weekends on the road. Yeah, I think that if you're just getting laughs because it's your fans, you're probably not, it's probably, you're at a disadvantage. Right, yeah. Yeah, it's like, yeah, whatever. I don't remember the last time I properly bombed.

I actually, that's not true. Well, I do remember that when I was in DC, my sister moved in with me and my ex-girlfriend and I used to just go to, like, do you remember that, that open mic that was like, that was run by Tony Woods and stuff. It was like by the, by the like, was that like historic theater?

It was on like sevenths. Whatever. I don't remember Tony Woods opening. He used to have like a room. Was it, yeah, it was like Russ used to run it with it. To Bach? Well there was to Bach. But I used to go to this other Bach.

It was on 14th or is that on you? That was on 14th. Or it was on you, sorry. Yeah. East of 14th. But yeah, I used to go to this all black open mic just to be alone and just bomb it. Mm-hmm.

Just because my sister and my girlfriend were stressing me out. Yeah. And I was like, it was kind of like just, yeah, I was kind of like just, yeah, I was doing it to like, to self-emulator or something. Yeah, it was always funny when we were talking. I just used to fucking eat shit.

White comics we talked about doing black rooms is if it was like, like this, like, yes, because if you can, if you can figure out how to manipulate the black mind and the laughter. Yeah, and you know, you're, you know. I have to learn the black mind. Oh yeah, right.

Yeah. They talk about it like it was like a completely different skill set. Yeah, no, I mean, I was just bombing before I even touched the mic. Yeah, they were just, they were just screaming at me. Tell me I look like Harry Potter. You say that a lot, but basically any time you describe it, it would happen

every time. In an interaction between you and black people. They say it looks like Harry Potter. You say, oh, you look like Harry Potter. You look like Harry Potter. You say that. That's what Harry Potter is the DC access. You say that in that cadence, anytime you've ever described to me an interaction between you and a black person. Not any interaction between me and a black person? Almost. I think I am on the record as having an interaction with my friend Jadakus. No, you were like, he wasn't telling me I look like her.

He was on the record talking to him. But you're not on the record describing an interaction. Yes, but what you're not on the record of is describing that interaction, which is wherein, wherein the ooh you look. Because first of all, I highly doubt any black person has ever said that to you ever. That is like insane. If anything, it probably happened two times.

And then in my mind, I like, I created some sort of narrative where it happened every time. But to say that it's never happened, that would just be like, I'm a schizophrenic. Or a liar. But why would that, that's not even a good lie? Because it's something that black people would say. It's actually you doing it. They're not even a good lie. I know.

Yeah. I don't really carry their way out here. And then I had sex with all of them. Yeah. Um, no, no. It was, uh, there was, yeah, I would go, I would go to that room and just completely eat shit. And then, yeah, my ax was bad.

Mm-hmm. I had fun at Tabok. Mainly watching Rala. He's the best. Dude, he watching Rala. He's the best. Dude, he was so funny. He's the best in the business. He was just fat, Hispanic. I one time that he told him he looked like a Teddy Graham.

I still think about that all the time. Not a Teddy Bear or a Teddy Graham. Teddy Graham is good. Yeah, I remember his joke about someone bringing a bag of Cheerios to the club. Yeah, yeah. No, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Was it Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Yeah. Because he's, mom, we're just doing his material. She said, you're too fat for snacks. No, well, he said, I'm at the club. And then he scrolls like, because he's very dark. She says, you're too dark for the club. No, she said, you're too black to wear black, and he said, you're too fat to be snacking.

Are she too fat to be snacking? Yeah, right. Yeah, no, black for black fat for snack. Yeah, right. They had like a... It's 2 a.m. You got a Ziplog baggy assidement on his crotch and a plop. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha I'm really good stuff. Yeah, he's so funny.

Yeah, the best is we've told that story before, but in other times there's this older black guy with like, you know, like, you know, the stores that don't exist anymore that used to be up and down six avenue that would sell like, you know, like Pimp Clothes basically, like, you know, like, Pimp clothes, basically, like, you know, like colorful suits and stuff. Steve Harvey's stories. Not necessarily. Yes, in that vein, but, you know, not like big talking heads style, but, like, you know, just like a nice suit, but a little bit ostentatious. And it's the older guy, and he's doing the Don Corleone just over the shoulders, saying, but the arms loose. That's cool.

And so he's walking to the bathroom, And this is probably the guy, this probably, this guy's been cool his entire life. Of course. He's got 70 years of cool. Nobody's ever checked him. Yeah. And he's walking back. And we walked past Rolla, always on stage, and Rolla was like,

ooh, my man said he got his jacket on and off. And the guy was like, he cooked a guy that's been cool for 80 years. Yeah, I mean, we said this story in Compton, but I'll say it again, who cares. The best was when he was doing like our hipster, my hipster show. And he's crushing, talking about like going up to a white woman and saying, oh, she looked like she has the pink area, Olas. And then like, I was, he was, he was,

he was, when that came from him, he was talking to a light skinned woman in the audience. And he's like, I like them really light skinned girls. They have those green palm veins in And pink carry all of this. This one, oh yeah. Well, whatever, whatever you say, he was just absolutely murdering and then just halfway through the set.

I think you were there that night, he goes, not, but for real gay sex is disgusting. Yeah. He's like, you just gonna get raped to death in a bathroom and AIDS and shit. It's just silence. Well, he's like silence. Silence. But anyways, yeah. It's just silence. It's silence. Silence.

But anyways, yeah. Yeah, but anyway. How you gonna have sex in a bathroom? Yeah. Just getting raped to death in a bathroom. That's what he thinks gay guys do. Yeah. I only saw him once or twice in New York.

He was doing funny shit because when he moved up here, he's like, now I gotta like know about politics. He's like, like, didn't black people already have enough? And now I have to fucking learn. Yeah, I don't remember the, I wish I remember exactly the way he did it or said it, but he made like a video. He's like, that I think I did with him,

where he was like, I'm making a Buzzfeed video. I was like, I don't know what that is, but I think it was like in the style of Buzzfeeders, I'm making a Buzzfeed video. I was like, I don't know what that is. But I think it was like in the style of Buzzfeed or something. And I went to his house and it was like questions about dating or something. And yeah, that was good to hang out with him. Yeah. I don't know where he's at these days.

I think he went back to DC or maybe he's back up here. But he's a shit. Whatever I say, I'm like, I'm excited. Yeah, Rahu is awesome. He's awesome. I also didn't know that that wasn't his name. That that was the name he would order. His real name is Adam Friedland.

His real name is Adam Friedland. He's got it in common. He's like, well, no, I have to change it. His real name is Harry Potter. Yeah. He, uh, no, that was like a joke when he was in, I think he went to Howard, when he would order pizza with that name, and then that became a stage name.

Yeah. Whatever. Good man, look him up wherever he may be. What else is up? So you gotta leave tomorrow? I leave tomorrow, show tomorrow night, two Friday, two Saturday. I leave tomorrow, show tomorrow night, two Friday, two Saturday.

Yeah, just finally, I think finally, after this, this is done, I think the expenses are, like everything's clear as to what our operating budget is. I gotta send this email to SAG, AFTRA, to get a, see if we can get one of these interim agreements. So we can hire people and cast people and stuff for these, you know, this stuff we want to shoot for the show.

So hopefully that can happen and you know, and then we'll be above board with the unions. Yeah, we don't want to disappear like we don't want to disappear like Jimmy Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be nice if that's just, you know, if the strike goes on long enough that independent productions just all sign the contracts under Netsford, because that's the thing is like that, like, if the main sticking point is AI, like nobody who's making shit independently wants to use AI, Right. Like nobody's... I guess you could. I mean it makes sense if you're like 14 or 15 years old and it gets to the point where you're like,

Oh, I want my own Star Wars movie where this happens and a fucking computer can just spit out the whole movie for you. But if you're making stuff, you want to... You want to make it. Right. Yeah. So that doesn't really... You know, you don't really have to worry about that, I guess. If you just saw way more independent stuff coming about as a result of all of this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that would be really cool. Yeah.

It would also be cool if we were the last television show, love, forever. Well, that might happen. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, fingers crossed, you know, Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon, and who are the other ones? Cool bear, yeah.

Fingers crossed, they all get killed by terrorists and then beheaded perhaps. Yeah. And then we have, you know, we just have the Adam Friedland challenge. The only game in town. Yeah, it would be good. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it could happen, right? Yeah, I guess. I mean, I don't know, I don't know shit about anything, but I feel like if it goes on long enough, it's like, and it comes back and the ratings are dog shit and people realize they don't wanna,

because if this goes on long enough, people probably cancel cable, right? And then, I know network television still exists, but do people actually use those things? You don't see the antennas for sale in like, you know, like, bass buy. What do you mean antennas? Like, you can still get like regular.

I have one. You do? Do you ever use it? Yeah, for sports. Oh, really? Yeah, that's the good. If I'm watching like, yeah. I mean, that's the only reason to watch any network. Yeah, you know, it's for sports. Oh really? Yeah, if I'm watching like, yeah, I mean, that's the only reason to watch

any network. Yeah, you know, it's for sports. Yeah, once it switched over to digital, something changed that it just wasn't the same. Something about like having to fiddle with the bunny ears was nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we used to have it. Yeah, I know you said tinfoil. Yeah, I know, I just have tin foil. Yeah, that's the blue. That's the blue. That's the blue. Yeah, I'm getting TV from the moon. Right, do this to watch the Simpsons. I'm like, I'm a fucking hold of thing. Yeah. Yeah, it was nice fiddling with those bunny ears, yelling at your sibling for messing it on.

That's one thing, Zoomers don't know anything about it. They're not gonna know. And I'm not saying it in a way where it's like, oh, you couldn't, you could never. But it is interesting. I bet a lot of them think it was crazy. You used to have to manipulate. Well, you have to do that with the digital antenna too.

Yeah, yeah. I think Dana was telling me that she had her dad's TV. There was like a wire that you had to like, oh, put your thumb over the end of. Mm-hmm. Don't like reduce like a stas or something. Yeah, and they would have to take turns holding the wire. Which is like, that's-

Poverty is so funny. Well, that's like, that's beyond poverty. That's like fucking like, the 20s. Yeah, it's like they're great depression. Yeah, we're all huddled around. It's like an 11 inch television. Yeah, it's the president's big. Cause you don't think, I mean,

you just watch it sort of pass by and technology is like iterative, you know? So it's never like holy shit, I guess. But yeah, you go back 25 years and think about what technology was. And it's like, yeah, you go back 25 years and think about what technology was And say yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it's really cool that we changed a lot. Yeah You could watch any movie of all time ever mm-hmm And listen to any song of all time ever yeah

Well actually you can't now well you can but I feel like when I was torrenting stuff, I think I switched over to just paying for streaming services and renting when we started making money and I found out you could write all that shit off. But often there's stuff I wanna watch. It's just not fucking available. And I don't have any, I mean I could torrent something on like a laptop and then plug that into the TV, but it seems like such a fucking pain in the ass, especially since I just cleaned all the wires up.

Yeah. And then you have another wire out. Yeah. And you're living in fucking hell again. Yeah. You're basically fucking cobble. That movie, The Others, The Nicole Kidman Movie, I don't remember that. You know, no, it's pretty good.

It's about a widow, or you don't know, maybe you don't know. She's a widow or not. She's waiting for her husband to come back from like World War one. She's living in this big, like it's like a state, this big old creepy house waiting for her husband to come home and she's got two kids. And then like weird chits. There's like ghosts in the house and stuff.

Yeah, and so they do like a say on, so whatever, and then they can like see the ghost and the ghosts are like scaring the kids and stuff, and then you find out at the end, they're the ghosts. They're scaring the kids. No, she's her and the children are the ghosts. Oh, it's a little bit of a shaman. Yeah. A little bit of a six sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I watched the new Ariaster movie when I was in the airport. It's called the dad, bad ombre. Something like that. Oh, the bow is afraid. The bow is afraid. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's more of, it's a comedy, but it's like very, you know, like, what do you call it? Who's in it? Is it that narco, Sky? It's like very, you know, like a, what do you call it? Who's in it? Is it that narco, Sky? It's walking. Walking, yeah, he looks like the narco's guy. Yeah.

People love that guy. The Mandalorian, he's the Mandalorian. Oh, he is a Mandalorian. Yeah, people love that guy. Now, what is the man that he's incredibly handsome? What is the Mandalorian again? It's something like. Is it an instrument? Is it a musical instrument? No, it's like a Boba Fett What do you mean? I think he's like a Boba Fett

What do you mean a Boba Fett? Boba Fett was like he wears that thing and he kills people So it's a guy wearing the same kind of armor. Yeah, he's like a different Boba Fett Yeah, who is Boba Fett a bounty hunter? He same kind of armor. Yeah, he's like a different boba fat. Yeah. Who is boba fat? A bounty hunter. He's a bounty hunter. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, you could do that so well. Picard, Wharf, data, data. Yeah. Yeah. With, yeah. But they're Australian. But they're Australian and then you have the people from different ships so you have like,

you could do, I feel like Australia, the Benzisco. Australia's going to be the last country in space. To get there? Yeah. What do you mean? Do you think like, Tanzania will reach space before Australia. You think why?

I don't think they're, they're gonna do dumb shit. They're gonna try to make it. What do they get money from there? Australia? What's their economy? I don't know. Because like animals? You know it's funny when you're a kid, you see Australia in a map and you think it's

like, oh, it's like America, but. So big. It's so big. Yeah, it's got to be like America, but 95% of the country is unlivable. There's three cities. Yeah, it's just the fucking. unlivable. There's three cities. Yeah, it's just this fucking. It's just that giant waste.

You can't drive from one city to another. You can, yeah. To drive from any city to another city is 24 hours. Yeah. They look on the map like they're close and they're like, no, it's impossible. Yeah. But they, they, they, they don't even have arrived. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to be in space's impossible. Yeah. But they, they, they, they don't even have a ride. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, they're going to be in space for last. Yeah. Or never, never. I don't think. They probably have resources in that whole shit that people don't live in. Yeah. Well, that was weird.

That's the other thing. They have metal. They got enough, the aliens there that they would never need to go to space. Yeah, that's true. I watched you grow. I watched you grow again somewhat recently. So good. It's fucking perfect.

So good. It's such a good move. He's making another one. Yeah. Oh, easy. Fury Road, too. I watched his other movie on a plane and I had to turn it off.

Which one? He made one after Fury Road. What's the movie? I was like, I can't deal with this right now. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? I just can't deal with this right now. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? I just wasn't connected with it. I think it was like, I don't even remember it.

It wasn't mad enough for you. Mad? It wasn't mad. Oh, yeah, yeah. It wasn't fucking. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It wasn't pissed enough.

No, it was like with till dissuading or something. And there was something about time or some shit. And it was like, yeah, I just want to see a car go fast. And some fucking gay bondage guys do some shit. Yeah. You know, that's cool. Yeah. Time know? That's cool. Yeah. Um, time, time isn't cool. Yeah.

Yeah. What else is in the news? It's really just this strike. I just, I go to deadline every day and I check for updates. Yeah. And then, and then really all I do is I go to the comments to get us. The deadline's comment section is. Who's commenting?

Like, out of work screenwriters? No, it's a lot of people that are just like anti-strike, but they all read like they're 85 years old. Do you think that they're just like studio, like they're... That's what the accusations seem to be, but it's like, would the studios do that? I mean, maybe they would. Yeah, they're better. Yeah, hire somebody to go in the deadline comment section and be like, yeah, this is selfish with the writer.

They're waging war. Yeah. The war of hearts and minds. Yeah, I just go to deadline and I watch people fight about it. Because that's really the only place you get to see people arguing about this. And people are fighting about it? I haven't, I, maybe I'm not really looking into it,

but I haven't seen anyone that's anti-strike. Yeah, you gotta go to the deadline comments. You gotta go to the deadline comments. I saw a video of Danny Trejo at a picket line. It was pretty funny. Where's like, he's like, there's a lot of people affected by this, like, even people's gardeners. Yeah, yeah.

And I think he's right. Yeah. He's like, he was getting interviewed by a newswoman and in a movie, he looks like big and scary. And he was like shorter than the news lady. Yeah. They are all kind of tiny. That's kind of racist. Not Mexicans actors.

Oh. Actors like... Edward James Olmos. You know Gary Olman is 5'1". No, he's not. He is? Isn't that crazy? He looks normal. No, yeah, 5'1". In the movies, he looks normal.

No, yeah. No way. No way, really, this tall. Danny DeVito looks... Oh, oh sorry Gary fucking Coleman. Oh Gary Coleman. They do have the same name. No one really points that out until I just know. Yeah I fucking have every time.

You do. You do. Yeah. You remember he was like down on his luck and he was working as a security guard. People were like taking pictures of him. Yeah. I like a parking lot. I felt bad for him.

Yeah, the entertainment industry is brutal. It's, yeah. It's a very cruel world. Right. Yeah. They're like, oh, look at this little people love it. People love stories like that. Yeah, they love seeing someone destroy it.

They love seeing somebody fucking destroy it. And he didn't even do anything wrong. I know. Yeah, he didn't rape anyone. He did. He was just little. Yeah, he love seeing someone destroy they love seeing somebody fucking destroyed and he didn't even do anything wrong I know yeah, he didn't rape anyone. He's just little. Yeah, he's just tiny and people are like fuck that fucking tiny guy Now he has to be a fucking work at a parking lot. Yeah, right Poor guy. Yeah, well, there's a perception that it's like oh, we probably over extended himself and fucked up his money and it's his fault that it's like, oh, we probably overextended himself and fucked up his money and it's his fault. What money? Yeah, I know. Well, you have in your head it's like, oh, if I know who somebody is, they must have made $500 million.

And it's their fault for not like of me. If I was on one season of the real world, I would have taken the $100 million and invested all of it. Yeah. I would have bought crypto at the bottom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But what happens is you make probably like $80,000 for three months. $80,000? And then you don't work for five years. For three months.

You get a financial advisor or a money manager. They charge you fees to lose your money in the stock market, and then they don't tell you that you owe a bunch of money to the government. Yeah, and they get paid no matter what. Yeah. So then you live in debt too. Yeah. Yeah, that's how it goes.

Yeah, and on top of that, you get violently raped by producers. And he had it bad, though. He was like, I'm an adult, actually. Yeah, like no no you're not. They used to be a thing in sitcoms where they found that, you know, whatever that degenerative or that, that congenital birth defects is that he has.

Gary Oldman's disease. Gary Oldman's disease. Yeah. They should call him Gary Youngman. That's true. Yeah. Man's a chameleon. Yeah.

No Gary Young, they should call him Gary Coleman, Coleman Gary Youngman because he looks like a young man. I'm fucking retarded. I'm actually like Yeah, me too. I get a dumb or a fucking dumb. I get a dumber and dumber every year. Yeah It's pretty fucking bad now. I'm fucking dumb dude. I went somewhere I forget where I was I think it was like best buy or not Best buy forget where I was but they're like can you put your phone number in for the like you did remember I could not remember my phone number I forget what my birthday is it's like yeah Yeah, that's basic that's a birthday of phone, it's like, yeah. Yeah, that's basic.

That's birthday of phone number. That's like, that's like you teach a baby that. Somebody asked me what age I am now, and I'm like, I forgot the other day. Oh, fuck. And then you really forgot the other day. And you remember how old you are? Yeah, you had to do, like, subtract the years.

Yeah, I'm like 20, no. No, I'm definitely not. I'm much older than that. I suck. Yeah, and that's like the weird thing about aging is you just deteriorate. Yeah, you know, it's really sad. Yeah, it's really sad.

And you have nothing to look forward to because we don't have any like respect for the elderly anymore. No. And you have nothing to look forward to because we don't have any respect for the elderly anymore. No. And you lose self-awareness. Right. You know? Yeah.

Yeah, that's the thing. And then even if you're famous, you get tricked into like deadline, you'll go to an 89 year old actor's house and be like, what do you think about black women? You know? And be like, actually, you know, I mean, I think the colors should get what they're asking for, what is that? They want to be let on the bus, but I don't know about all this other stuff.

And it's just because you've got like just two cells, like just transferring a fucking electron. And all you remember is the great depression. Yeah, right. Yeah, and And then they're like oh racist comments by dinosaur actor And then your niece is like great. Oh, what did you say? Yeah? No, and your family talk to you. I'm a guy. I'm this Gary I miss Gary. I just miss Gary. I miss Gary Cole. I miss Gary Cole. I miss Gary Cole.

I miss my tiny boy, but he was in the door. I miss my tiny, Ombre. Yeah. I guess Huzz Bola is Gary Cole, you know? What? Huzz Bola? You don't know. Oh, that's like, he's like, daggestanding or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got the same thing, but he's got it worse. He's like he's like daggistani or something. Yeah, yeah. He's got the same thing, but he's got it worse. He's like two foot one. And he's got like a high pitched voice. God bless them. Vern Choir died too. He did. Yeah.

Today? Sometimes I see, what do they call it? What do they prefer to be called? Little people or dwarves? Little people. It's not, Midjid is the one that's a slur. Yeah, them going with little people seems like you don't have to do that to yourself. Yeah. Have some self-respect, man. Sometimes I see them and it's just wild to me that that still works. You know what I mean? Well, that your body can be that small and your organs are probably that small too,

and then you're like living. Yeah. But I guess a kid is that size. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. This is, we're tough.

Yeah. We're so dope. No, it's just shocking to me. Yeah. You would think that that would like kill somebody. Because the body is so fragile anyways. You can live with all of your organs this big, but not a tumor this fucking big that's in your liver. Right. You know what I mean? That could kill everything. Yeah, right.

Yeah. So true. And your balls. And then it's like the head is. That's just right there, man. The head is normal size too. That's how they survive though. They have the normal size head. Yeah. And cock. Yeah.

They got big ones. Do they? I don't know. Yeah, there should be a disease where I think I have. Verendroid or how to sex tape. I think I have. Verendroyer had a sex tape. I think I have the disease where you just have, you just have like every proportion is shrunk down. Like I often feel like I'm built like Shrek's dad

for a Brax dad from the Brax show. I don't know that show. The dad character was like, they just used some Marvel like a side character or something, he's like a Hispanic guy. But they make his proportions so, he's just like slightly tinier than he should be. Oh, here, I'll show you.

I thought the Brak Show was what, they called the Wayans Brothers in China. Very good. Thanks. Here he is, he was in debt. Sitting at the, I don't know. That's you. I've always thought, I remember watching that show as I go, that's me.

Wait, is that like adult swim or something? Yeah, it's an adult swim. That was probably the thing. I know that thing. That was like the best show on adult swim Space Ghost was good Yeah, Harvey Burntman attorney a laws. Yeah, Brakshow was was definitely my favorite though Isn't that what they called um Yeah, we're gonna be reading the newspaper

Anyways, anyways. Yeah, I feel super dumb. I was up really late last night cleaning my apartment for my dad. He's staying with me. Yeah. Yeah. In bed. I thought you were getting in my hotel. Probably next week I will, but tonight he's going to get in mid-night.

It's a late flight for an old man. Yeah, well, he's coming for it. It's like, how's your dad doing? We'll see. He seems happy, and he's telling. He's really nice now. Yeah, he's like a really sweet, really sweet guy. Well, he's an outlet.

What's that? Well, he was setting him up with this company thing. Well, I don't know what's going on with that right now, but no, it's just sort of... Nobody has an outlet. I mean, for years he was doing, you know, he didn't really have anything going on. He had a business with my mom. Well, that's what I mean. He didn't have anything.

He had something after that. After she passed away, no, he was... No, he was... Yeah, we're very proud of him. He has to wear. Yeah. He doesn't have anything. He has to have to do that. He has to have to do that. After she passed away, no. He has to have to do that. No, he has to. We're very proud of him. It's crazy too, because that's what. 71.

He's turning 72 next week. Yeah, you still, like, even at that age, you still need something. I mean, you have to have a reason to live. Yeah. Even if it's dumb, though, that's what I mean. It's like, even if it's like, yeah, oh, I want to get into speed cubing right 85 years old or miniatures. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Was your dad do for hobby for hobby

Well, I mean you know His project he's working on Yeah Jack, he's working on this. I'm not gonna... He's not, he's not. That one. That's probably... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and, I mean, but, I mean, I talked to him about that, and he's genuinely, that's been the last like seven years. But that's good for him. Yeah, no, he's like excited.

I mean, that's good for him. He considers that to be a creative outlet. Good, yeah. He's very funny. Yeah, we're gonna get laughed up by our outlet. Yeah. He's very funny. Yeah, we're going to get laughed at by our sons. Yeah. They're going to be like those fucking,

or those fucking losers who are like, that's all right. There's better than fucking dying alone. We also don't have sons. So that's still on the table. We can still die alone. We'll have sons. They'll be in the NBA. They'll be on the same. We can still die alone. We'll have sons, they'll be in the NBA.

They'll be on the same team and the NBA together. They'll be best friends. The NBA has been renamed No Blacks Allowed. Yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The post-truck NBA. Yeah, yeah. What's going on with that?

They're trying to get him like, you know, in court in like December? Yeah. Is that that can't happen, right? Trying to get him in court in December? Is that can't happen, right? They really think they're gonna get his ass this time. My dad's really, he's like, finally. Yeah, this is it. And I guess I am kind of like just operating

under the assumption of any time they've said this, it has not been it. But maybe, I don't know. There's more than, I thought it was just stormy Daniels. That's what I thought it was. No, it's a classified document saying. But isn't that what Biden did also? I think it has more to do with like, it was, you, like, was being a dickhead about it, about giving the files back.

But the real comparison, from my understanding, is what Hillary Clinton did was the worst, you know, and shouldn't face any consequences, other than not becoming president. Which that's a grand irony of the whole thing is that Hillary Clinton not stolen classified documents and hid them and then delete emails with classified information and then that coming up to the Anthony Leighner laptop thing Donald Trump wouldn't have been president, Donald Trump wouldn't have had the opportunity to steal classified information. So it's literally hurtful. Yeah.

One second. If it weren't for Hillary Clinton, those files do not end up in Marlotto. And maybe where she'd become president, she would have been investigated by Congress because she would have gotten wiped out in the midterms two years in. And then they would have opened the email investigation back up. And she would be in Guadantanamo Bay. I don't think, yeah, she'll never face any kind of consequence. For no matter what she does.

No. Yeah. But she won't ever be president. We'll see, dude. I'm still holding out. She should run against Biden. How funny would be if Hillary was like, I'm going to run against Biden, splits the vote and then trumps in.

And it's her fault again. That would be awesome. It would be awesome. Yeah. I saw in an early polling that RFK Jr. in a Democratic primary is pulling ahead of Kamala Harris was sitting vice president. His numbers are crazy. He's like 2%.

What's that? He's like 8%. He's like 20. Amongst the Democratic Democrats. Yeah. It might have been dinged by his like, you know, do you think? Yeah. Did you think?

But the farting thing at that dinner too did you read that no apparently two like eighty five year old men got into a shouting match at that dinner about like COVID or something and one of them was like you're being like a fucking idiot and the other guy just like just let out a prolonged fart he's like that's what I think about that prolonged Faraday's like that's what I think about that Do you like senior citizens? He's the most awesome guy of all time. Yeah, some old man Yeah, and then RFK was like oh juice invented Invented it to the team up with the Chinese to kill the black he talks like fucking Stevie for Malcolm in the middle. I know. Yeah Yeah, I was thinking about that show Oz, but I was like, yeah, there's basically two black

wheelchair characters and it's on Oz and Stevie and Malcolm in the middle. No, there's more than that. There's the guy on Viper that invented the car. That's your TV. Okay, there's also the, well, I guess the BK Kids Club has a kid in a wheelchair and the black guy, but the collectively.

Yeah, yeah. In my mind, the BK Kids Club Black guy was, Jordy. Was the dad in Terminator in a wheelchair? I don't remember. The dad that invented SkyNet in T2, the Black dad. I don't remember. I was in a war.

Is that the same actor that plays the wheelchair guy in Viper? I don't know. No. I don't remember. There's gotta be more. There's got to be more. There's definitely more. I was trying to think of black wheelchair characters and popular media like it only think of Stevie and Paul's.

Denzel Washington in the bone collector. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, Mr. Glass was he in the wheelchair? Mr. Glass. Yeah. Yeah. Probably. That's probably the most recognizable. Yes. Mr. Glass, was he in a wheelchair? Mr. Glass. Yeah, yeah, probably. That's probably the most recognizable. Yes, Mr. Glass.

Yeah, no, there's a lot of black wheelchair characters. I guess they technically axle from twisted metal. I think that kind of counts. Is he black? I guess. He's a black guy and then his arms are wheels. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

It's kind of a terrible fate to suffer. Yeah. Being a car guy. What are their black eyes are in wheelchairs? I know there's more. There is. Yes, definitely more. I think there's more.

Maybe a little bit of homework for a little stuff. No, I'm picking my nose. You can't put it on. Thank you. I got a new band for my Apple Watch. How's it feel? It feels nice. I like the color too.

The old one snapped on me. What did you do? You got two pist? No, it's just... I like the one where you don't there's no like a latch. You just kind of put it over like a live strong bracelet. I prefer these are like more comfortable and then the fabric ones they start to stink. But yeah, I couldn't ride the indoor bike for two or three days. Because you didn't have your watch. Right, and I didn't have the watch, yeah.

I can't just tie a string to it. Yeah, I gotta get, I gotta get to exercise more consistently. I'm gonna film like fucking dogs shit all the time. Yeah, I'm really fucking... I think I really fuck between COVID twice a year of too much cocaine. And then a year of too much cocaine,

and then a year of veganism, I think I aged a decade. You look nice. No, I mean, like my cardio-vascular system. Yeah, I just get winded way too easily. And I was feeling better when I was like, going to gym and using the sauna. That definitely helped. I feel like we're in a fucking sauna right now on this. I don't know why we're in a fucking flannel. I just need more time.

Fucking time. Yeah. Going to the road sucks. Well, that's not the road. I mean, I wake up at seven and then I guess there's a little bit of time there, but I brush my teeth and get a coffee and then it's time to take a train in here. And then, yeah, this is all, there's always other shit that, you know,

you can't just do the podcast or focus on. It's emails and calls and meetings and, you know, spon. Spon. Spon. He's not in a wheelchair. Yes, he is. No, he's not. Yes, he is. He's lost use of his legs and when he puts the suit on.

No, he goes to hell. Wait, so who's the guy who's like a black superhero guy? Maybe War Lord from Iron Man. No, War Lord. I thought it was Spawn. It was like a TV show in Fox. No, Spawn is, he gets, It was like a TV show in Fox. No, Spawn is, he gets the devil or something.

He really made me sad. I never read comic books, but I did read Spawn. And when, as an adult, I was like, you know, everybody was doing the comic book thing. I was like, it was spawn good. Yeah, you read it back. You're like, the same. Yeah, no. It really is.

All that shit is just for children, it's bad. Yeah. But no, he's like an assassin that gets a double crossed by his boss and he's killed during a mission. And he goes to hell and he misses his wife. So he makes a deal with Satan. And Satan says, if you become like a general in my army of demon soldiers, I'll send you back to earth.

So he sends him back to earth and he gets the spawn suit and the fact clown, the violator, is like, he's like one of Satan's minions, minions, he's like a demon that is there to, like he's not really a guide, but like basically like, you know, spawns a slave. So he's like, okay, here's what your powers are. If you use them, you know, you run out of energy,

and if you run out enough, you go back to hell. So, then he meets a guy who I think, would used to also be like a demon or something, but then he became, he purified his soul, and now he's like an angel and God's army, and then he's trying to help spawn out in some way. I don't know, fucking. But he definitely wasn't handicapped.

Yeah. What might be good is that HBO series, the spawn and HBO series. Which follows the comics pretty closely. But I've only ever, multiple times, watched the first 10 minutes of the first episode. Yeah. And couldn't get into it. Let me see.

Mantis. It was on Fox. Do you remember the show? Mantis. Mantis. No, mantis. Oh, like a pregnant. Yeah. But it was an acronym. Do you remember the show? Mantis? Mantis. No mantis. Oh, like a praying mantis.

Yeah. But it was an acronym. Yes. It was a Sam Raimi show on Fox. For some reason I remember it. It was on for one year. 22 episodes. Yeah.

I was really into Fox in that era. Yeah. that era. Yeah. Well, the outspoken scientist, Dr. Miles Hawkins, is shot in a spine by a police sniper, a Jürgen Riot. And man, it stands for Miles, comma, A-B-B-B, that is chaired. Mechanically augmented neurotransmitter interception system.

So yeah, he's a guy in a wheelchair and then he puts on a suit and then he can fight for him. You know, like that. I like that. I feel like I can. Say it again. Miles, comma, A, B, that's in chair. Oh, that's man tick. Yeah. That's, I'm sorry. In sitting. That is sitting. It is sitting. Yeah, yeah, you know miles a beep that is sitting I think you I think you got that one Gettin's how we 58 so Let's any closing thoughts

If you like the Adam Friedland show, I know a lot of people don't like the Adam Friedland show podcast.

I love it. It's, but you know, and it's hard to frame this in a way in such a way that doesn't sound like a complaint, because for years, if you podcast, you know, people will say, like, oh, what's the big deal? You have to have a conversation for an hour twice a week. This is what a conversation for an hour looks like.

Yeah, it's pretty mundane meandering. This is what, not interesting. This is what just an hour of conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A week looks like. Dad and Friedland show, we've both, whatever, I don't want to qualify it, however, we have, this has been a goal to get to a place where we can do a talk show or, you know, like really work unfettered by material concerns.

But the show does require your support. So if you like the show, please subscribe on YouTube, like and subscribe, maybe click the ads and say people to you. Maybe buy everything. And then check out patreon.com slash T-A. F.F. If you do happen to like the Adam Friedland show podcast, there is an additional one of these conversations once a week that is posted there. This week we have the video. And then also if you subscribe at the associate producer or producer level, which corresponds to 15 or $25 a month, it is a lot

of money, but the show, we do need your support. You get your name real pretty in the credits. And hopefully down the line there'll be like additional stuff we can offer, but. But this is an independent production and it requires support from viewers like you. I mean, I think that we're really happy about the show.

And really happy about the talk show. Yeah, you don't have to be happy for us, but we have three interviews in the can. And we're wrapping up all three of those episodes. And hopefully we'll get them out to you as soon as possible. But thanks for watching, guys. Thanks guys. We'll catch you next time. Bye.

It's fucking hot in here, dude. I don't know why I went... My back is in the way. Are you alright, your head? Yeah, I'm really dizzy.
